Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
Doesn't feel great, but it just feels insane how low he's going relative to everybody else.
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
Down here, I think this might be a Luke Hughes pick.
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
Decently past ADP here.
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
Yep, let's go Luke Hughes there, 40.
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
Feels good to get 40 in this early.
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
Maybe we can get a little backdoor stack going with those guys.
21 MINS LATER
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
What did we get here? We got 531 so far.
Nate Groot NibbelinkHOST
531.
Jeff MarekGUEST
But, but again-
Matt SekeresHOST
... drinking the Luke Hughes Kool-Aid just yet
Jeff MarekGUEST
... hold, hold on.
Jeff MarekGUEST
No, but, but, but, but put yourself in Qu- in Quinn's head.
Matt SekeresHOST
Yeah, no, fair.
Jeff MarekGUEST
And put yourself in the, in, in, in the f- in the family's head here.
Jeff MarekGUEST
Like, it's, like, if, if they would've moved Luke Hughes to Calgary and kept Simon Nemec, Quinn would walk in and say, "Psht, I'm punting this guy off the power play.
Jeff MarekGUEST
You know, I really don't care."
Dom LuszczyszynGUEST
But I'm really worried about this defense group as a whole.
Dom LuszczyszynGUEST
I think they really need Luke Hughes to be the guy this year, and if he can get there, I think they'll be fine.
Dom LuszczyszynGUEST
As a whole, it's just very bland and uninspiring though.
Dimitri FilipovicHOST
So after their busy off-season, the Capitals have jumped up to 102.5.
Michael RandHOST
Yeah
Judd ZulgadGUEST
... because Luke Hughes can be a number, I, I think, might not be right this second, but I think Luke Hughes is a future number one defenseman.
Judd ZulgadGUEST
But if you sign on Quinn's team, you're demoted automatically.
Michael RandHOST
Yeah.
Cory CoveHOST
We, nobody cares about that one.
Cory CoveHOST
We care about Luke Hughes, right?
Greg SwedbergGUEST
Oh, the hockey does.
Paul LambertHOST
I like him.
Jim ParsonsHOST
I mean, we haven't really talked about that at all, have we? We were all just sort of assuming that Quinn Hughes will sign a short-term deal or no deal and walk himself into free agency and then maybe wind up in New Jersey or whatever the case is until Jack is freed up.
Jim ParsonsHOST
But nobody's really talked about the idea that, you know, Minnesota might go after Jack Hughes, maybe even Luke Hughes.
Jim ParsonsHOST
I don't see New Jersey budging on something like that because they just really stocked their team.
Jim ParsonsHOST
They've got a new GM in Sonny Mehta there.
Jeff MarekHOST
Um, and Luke kinda get, is, is sort of outside, out- outside of this conversation.
Jeff MarekHOST
Eventually, it's every now and then someone will bring up a point about the presence of Luke Hughes in all of this, and usually it's around power play time.
Jeff MarekHOST
"Well, if Quinn goes to New Jersey, there goes brother Luke's power play time.
Jeff MarekHOST
Does one family member wanna do that to another family member? 'Cause Quinn comes in, he's, he's taking the f- the full two minutes." How much of a factor, positively, negatively, um, is Luke Hughes in all of this with the New Jersey Devils?
Arthur StapleGUEST
I assume he's gotta be a big part.
Arthur StapleGUEST
Uh, even though he wasn't part of the Olympics, he still exists as a big part of the, the trio of brothers, and when they talk about playing with each other, they're not just, it's not just Quinn and Jack talking about it, which is why-
Arthur StapleGUEST
this doesn't really line up the way that everybody wants it to line up.
Arthur StapleGUEST
So, [smacks lips] you know, the, the simplest arrangement is obviously Quinn Hughes joining Jack and Luke with the Devils.
Brock SeguinHOST
They're all going way too late.
Brock SeguinHOST
And Luke Hughes-
Beebs BondyHOST
True
Brock SeguinHOST
...
Beebs BondyHOST
[laughs]
Brock SeguinHOST
I mean outrageously cold.
Brock SeguinHOST
The top four players in the NHL in on-ice goals scored below expected were all New Jersey Devils, and Luke Hughes' 35 and a half goals scored below expected was the worst mark of any defenseman in the league, and his own shooting told the exact same story.
Brock SeguinHOST
He was top 10 among defenseman in expected goals per game.
Noah AdlerHOST
Let me bring this up for a second.
Noah AdlerHOST
I know all three of us are not exactly high in the Devils and whatnot, but could we consider them as well to an extent? Hughes would have to
Will MandzukHOST
play 82 games this year out of 84 and put up 110 points.
Will MandzukHOST
And he sure would have to be healthy the entire year.
Will MandzukHOST
And Luke Hughes would have to step up and do a bigger role.
Connor DolanHOST
And... health.
Connor DolanHOST
Who's New
Will MandzukHOST
Yeah, no.
LucasHOST
So let's go to New Jersey.
LucasHOST
Jack Hughes, Luke Hughes, Jesper Bratt.
ScottHOST
Goalie, we talked about them.
ScottHOST
They lost Markstrom to the Florida Panthers, but they had another good goalie already in Jake Allen, right?
